Background: To clarify the psychological experience and coping strategies in patients with acute pancreatitis in pregnancy (APIP) and propose interventional measures to improve pregnancy outcomes in these women. With an increasing trend of pregnant women in advanced ages and multiparous women, the incidence of APIP has significantly increased. Pregnancy accompanied by concurrent pancreatitis may subject these women to notable psychological stress, which is a factor that has been infrequently reported in previous studies.
Methods: APIP patients were interviewed from December 2020 to June 2021. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews based on an outline, including six questions. The interviews were recorded and analyzed using qualitative content analysis until data saturation was reached.
Results: Ten APIP patients were interviewed and four themes were identified, including excessive psychological burden, uncomfortable experience, urgent requirement for adequate medical resources, and importance of social support.
Conclusion: Patients with APIP suffer from significant psychological stress due to their medical conditions and management. They desired adequate medical resources and social support. The local health department, hospital administrators, and medical staff should understand the psychological requirements and provide adequate healthcare and education that are easily accessible to these APIP patients. In addition, family support should also be encouraged to promote APIP patients' recovery.

Background: Acute pancreatitis in pregnancy (APIP) is a rare and serious condition, and severe APIP (SAPIP) can lead to pancreatic necrosis, abscess, multiple organ dysfunction, and other adverse maternal and infant outcomes. Therefore, early identification or prediction of SAPIP is important.
Aim: To assess factors for early identification or prediction of SAPIP.
Evaluation of in-house dengue real-time PCR assays in West Java, Indonesia.

Article Synopsis
- Dengue is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes, and its incidence is rising in Indonesia, making early detection crucial for outbreak control.
- In response, researchers developed in-house real-time PCR assays (TaqMan and SYBR types) to accurately diagnose dengue, with TaqMan showing the highest sensitivity.
- A study involving 74 suspected dengue patients demonstrated that while the NS1 rapid test had high specificity, it and other rapid tests alone are inadequate for definitive diagnosis, supporting the need for more sensitive molecular tests like TaqMan PCR.

We studied the gene-expression patterns in specimens of tumor and peritumor tissue biopsies of 26 patients with head and neck carcinomas depending on smoking status. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations verified that all tumors belonged to the "classical" subgroup of head and neck carcinomas, and the HPV-negative tumor status was confirmed. The expression of 28 tumor-associated genes determined by RT-PCR was independent of patients' sex or age, TNM status, degree of differentiation, or tissue localization.
